JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

Don’t go changing to try and please me you never let me down before
Mm, mm. Don’t imagine you’re too familiar and I don’t see you anymore.  
I would not leave you in times of trouble we never could have come this far. 
Mm, mm I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times. I’ll take you just the way you are.

Don’t go trying some new fashion don’t change the color of your hair.
Mm, mm. You always have my unspoken passion, although I might not seem to care.
I don’t want clever conversation, I never want to work that hard
Mm, mm. I just want someone that I can talk to. I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be the same old someone that I knew. 
Oh, what will it take till you believe in me the way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that’s forever and this I promise from the heart
Mm, mm. I couldn’t love you any better. I love you just the way you are.

I don’t want clever conversation, I never want to work that hard
Mm, mm. I just want someone that I can talk to. I want you just the way you are.
